well to start off i was wandering round looking at things for a Christmas present for my pc when i came across a GTX 690 in a second hand computer shop the card it self looked amazing almost as good as new all boxed and all documented even came with a poster which had not been looked at i think i thought for £150 its not bad and after googling it i found the price when new was around the 1000 dollars so i thought in its day it must have been the dogs so i thought i'll have it after all i was currently using 2 asus EAH6850 in crossfire on my motherboard which were ok for what i was using my pc for
after installing and updating the pc i was more than happy with the results to say it blows my other cards out of the water that's an understatement
now this is were it goes a bit south so to speak
not realizing my pc is mainly all AMD i have a A10-6800 cpu on a F2A85-V mother board with 16 Gb of ram now everything runs ok but every now and again once a week may be i get a blue screen on win7 and the report say its the graphics drive im right in assuming because my mobo only works cross fire and now this GTX690 is running in SLI will every now and again cause an issue although the SLI controller is on the card its self and not the motherboard both the AMD driver which has to be there for the CPU somehow conflicts the the nvidia driver
if i open up the AMD Catalyst control center it looks strange to see 4 nvidia gforce gtx690 screen controllers so would this be the issue have i to buy new mobo cpu ect ect
thnks for looking
